"The food is quite good. Did you cook it?" Su Wen said, already picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat.
"Young master, slow down, there are still a few dishes left, they'll be ready soon." Chen Xin, who had been crying pitifully just now, hurriedly ran out when he remembered the two dishes still in the kitchen.
Yu Shu happened to walk in from outside. "Young master is so lucky to have brought back such a talented and skillful girl. Even the food she cooks is so delicious."
Su Wen didn't even glance at him, and while eating, she mumbled indistinctly, "If you want to eat, make it yourself. All of this is mine."
"Young master is so heartless," Yu Shu said, walking away dejectedly.
Before this girl Xin'er came, they always ate together as master and servant. But ever since this woman arrived, the young master's temper has changed.
Chen Xin carried two dishes and strode in from outside. He saw Yu Shu, who was about to enter the Zhu family's house, smiled slightly at him, and quickly came to the table.
"Young master, please try it. This is something I just learned to make, and I don't know what it tastes like."
Su Wen quickly picked up a piece, put it to her mouth and took a bite, "Mmm, Xin'er's cooking is delicious."
While eating, she noticed Xin'er standing next to her and asked, "You haven't found your sister yet?"
Chen Xin's eyes dimmed instantly, and he shook his head slightly, "Not yet."
"The capital is a big city. If you're determined to find someone, you'll eventually find them."
"Thank you, young master." Chen Xin said, kneeling on the ground. Su Wen quickly helped him up. "Alright, you must be hungry too. Let's eat together."
"No, no, how could this servant sit at the same table as the young master?" Chen Xin said, stepping back repeatedly. After reaching the door, he turned and walked outside.
......
When Chen Siyuan woke up, it was already evening.
The moment I opened my eyes, I saw that the whole room was pitch black.
At first, she was startled.
My mind was a little foggy for a moment, but after I saw the room's layout clearly, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment, her mind was a little foggy, and she thought she was in her past life.
Fortunately, she was given a second chance at life, and she was no longer the lowly Chen Siyuan from her previous life.
She got up and touched the silky quilt cover in her hand. It was made of the finest silk, a tribute to the palace, and here it was indeed as common as it could be found everywhere.
If you didn't know that this was the general's mansion, you would think you had entered the imperial palace.
hehe--
I smiled to myself as I thought about it.
She's not destined to become an empress in the palace; she should live more authentically.
Thinking about it, he got up from the bed to see what was going on with the two maids and why he hadn't seen them yet.
I usually see those two as soon as I open my eyes. Could it be that they're slacking off today?
Just as he was about to get up, he saw two maids hurrying in from outside with their heads down.
"This servant greets the young mistress."
"This servant greets the young mistress."
Chunlan and Chunping bowed their heads in greeting, not daring to look at each other for long.
"What's wrong with you two?" Why are you suddenly being so well-behaved?
Chen Siyuan looked closely, trying to see what was different, but unfortunately, the room was too dark and she couldn't see clearly, so she gave up.
Chunlan and Chunping looked down and glanced around, but they didn't see Qiao Yuchen anywhere. They found it strange that the two of them had slept together and hadn't seen Qiao Yuchen leave. Why was the young mistress the only one in the room?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and light the lamp."
At Chen Siyuan's words, the two maids busied themselves, helping the young mistress change her clothes. When they arrived at the outer hall together, they realized that Qiao Yuchen might have gone out while they were off guard, and they hadn't seen him.
Because Chen Siyuan had been drinking, her mind was momentarily unclear, and she completely forgot about drinking at noon. Neither of them said anything.
At that moment, what they didn't know was that there was someone on the beam in the inner room. This person was none other than Qiao Yuchen, whom Chunlan and Chunping had been looking for.
When Qiao Yuchen realized the woman was about to wake up, he instinctively ran away.
With nowhere else to go, he came to the roof beam, where he could see the woman's expression clearly.
Seeing the woman's absent-minded nature, he found it hard to believe how she had managed to defeat the cunning and fox-like Aunt Guo in the Chen family of Nancheng.
Thinking to himself, Qiao Yuchen heard a commotion in the distance, so he immediately slipped out quietly, intending to take a detour before coming back.
...
Outer hall.
"What did you say?" Chen Siyuan looked at Chunping.
"Young Madam, Madam Qiao sent word that we'd like to have dinner together tonight."
"Together?" Chen Siyuan had never encountered anything like this before when she arrived at the General's Mansion.
This sudden turn of events left her wondering what Mrs. Qiao was really thinking.
In the past, she would have definitely felt something was wrong; it was clearly a trap. Why would she jump into it herself? But thinking of the handkerchief, she still felt a sense of gratitude deep down.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Chunlan and Chunping also found it strange. Madam Qiao's sudden outburst was impossible to refuse, and now that the young master was not around, they were worried that the young mistress would suffer.
Then, considering that the young mistress was now a first-rank imperial consort, even higher than Madam Qiao, he immediately felt that it should be the same as those visiting cards.
Thinking about this brings me peace of mind.
Soon it was time, and when Chen Siyuan was taking two maids to Madam Qiao's West Garden, Qiao Yuchen suddenly returned.
Where are you going?
“My mother invited us over for dinner,” Chen Siyuan said softly, deliberately using the word “invitation” to be tactful, so as not to offend the man too much.
Besides, she was initially unsure of herself, but seeing Qiao Yuchen appear made her feel much more relaxed.
